Nankhatai-Indian Shortbread Cookies
Nankhatai is an Indian style cookie that is a perfect tea time snack. They are usually made during the Diwali festival in India. Perfect nankhatai that look exactly like the bakery bought ones. I am sure you cant resist them. So crisp, yet soft that the minute you put them in your mouth, they just melt away.
